TROYE SIVAN / JUNE 2024

[todaysjewishholiday]

6 Sivan 5784 (11-12 June 2024)

Chag Shavuot Sameach! Today is the second of the Shalosh Regalim, the three Torah pilgrimage festivals on which the Israelites gathered to the Beit haMikdash. Shavuot celebrates both the barley harvest in ancient eretz yisroel and the covenant made between HaShem and the liberated Jewish people at Mount Sinai fifty days after their departure from bondage in Egypt.

Shavuot is a very joyful day, celebrated with sumptuous dairy foods and an all-night Torah study gathering called Tikkun Leil Shavuot. Unlike Pesach or Sukkot, Shavuot doesn’t continue for a full week. Because of Chag Sheni Shel Galuyos, the ancient tradition of adding an extra day to Jewish holidays in the diaspora to allow for the news of the new moon sighting to be spread from the Sanhedrin. While direct lunar observations haven’t been part of the Hebrew calendar in over 1500 years, an extra day is retained as a source of extra joy.

If Pesach is the great festival of freedom, Shavuot is the celebration of covenant. We are, and have been for as long as we know, a people of covenant. Whatever shape our Judaism takes, it is in relation to the covenant and ideals of promise to HaShem and to one another that flow from it. All the numerous debates of Judaism are about what that covenant means and what exactly it obligates us to do as a people. Happy Shavuot! May you have joy in your Jewishness today!

Troye Sivan's Something To Give Each Other (2023) artwork with titles

[hebrewbyinbal]

Tomorrow marks the first of Sivan (א' בְּסִיוָן), a month rich with warmth, growth, and spiritual renewal in the Hebrew calendar.

As we welcome Sivan, pronounced /see-'van/ in Hebrew using my PSP Phonetic System, we enter a time of vibrant blossoming both in nature and within ourselves.

Sivan is celebrated for its deep historical and spiritual significance, most notably for Shavuot, which commemorates the momentous occasion of receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai...

which is why this Sunday email will be dedicated to Shavuot! Make sure you are getting my emails if you do not want to miss out.

This month encourages us to reflect, celebrate, and continue growing. Whether you're working on your Hebrew skills or invested in any other project of importance for you, Sivan offers the perfect backdrop for personal and communal renewal.

Let’s embrace the opportunities that Sivan brings. Here’s to a month of insight, joy, and progress in our shared and individual journeys.

Wishing you a good and blessed new month רֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ טוֹב וּמְבֹרָךְ /rosh 'kho-desh tov oo-me-vo-'rakh/

14 Sivan 5784 (19-20 June 2024)

The 14th of Sivan 5270 saw a celebration among Ashkenazi Jews over the reversal of a decree nearly as horrible as the decree proposed to Ahaverosch by Haman in the Book of Esther, for though this was not a decree for the destruction of Jewish lives, it struck at something almost as dear to our hearts— the sacred books of Judaism.

Ashkenazi Jews had endured a precarious existence from the first settlements of Jews in the newly Christianized lands of Central Europe. By 5269, Ashkenazi communities had experienced centuries of violence inspired by the crusades and other forms of religious persecution. Maximilian I, who claimed the title of Holy Roman Emperor, had expanded his own treasuries for much of his reign by permitting cities to pay him for the right to expel their Jewish populations, then allowing those Jews to resettle in other territories under his control. Unlike his contemporaries in the Iberian Peninsula his aim was not to force Jews to convert but simply to capitalize on antisemitism for his own enrichment. In 5269, however, he was provoked to issue a decree calling for the seizure and destruction of Jewish religious texts including the Talmud and siddurim by a Jewish apostate and antisemitic agitator who claimed these books attacked Christianity and ought to be destroyed by the Christian ruler. Maximilian’s decree was immediately met with outrage not only by the Jews of the empire but by scholars, nobles, and priests who understood their importance, including the Catholic archbishop of Mainz. Eventually the pleas of these advocates and impassioned defenses of the Talmud by Christian Hebraists including Johannes Reuchlin persuaded the emperor to reverse his decree on the 14th of Sivan, and books which had been confiscated were returned to their Jewish owners. While Jewish life in Christian lands remained precarious, one disaster had been averted.
